Er, compiler problem

Mitosis · June 18, 2004, 05:54 AM

Alrright, I am running Visual Studio.Net. When I go to make a new project in Visual Basic, a Windows Application to be specific, I get this error and then there is no form 1.

I never have had this problem before, so I am confused on what is going on. Any help will be appreciated.

Are you using a COM interop component? ClassFactory only typically comes into play when COM is trying to instantiate a new object via an interface reference.

What's listed in your References list?

Have you tried reinstalling Visual Studio?

Arg I havent because I don't have a clue of what was going on. Ill reinstall now and see if that works.

[edit] I reinstalled and it still does the same thing, god damnit! [/edit]

Is this problem occurring solely with Visual Basic? Do you have the other .NET languages (Visual C#, Visual C++, Visual J#) available? Can you add new forms or classes to the project? Can you download and install Visual J# (if you don't have it) from the MSDN website? Have you done an MSKB search for "ClassFactory cannot supply class Visual Studio 7"?

Well I tried J#, C#, C++ and they get the same problem too. I searched for ClassFactory cannot supply class Visual Studio 7 on MSDN and there was no success.
